This module is set up as a COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) module.
Details on the involved partner universities and the module outline will be given every year shortly before the start of the module.
As part of the module, joint attendance days may take place with the foreign university partner(s). For this purpose, ZHAW students may travel abroad, or foreign students may come to the ZHAW. The cost contribution for travel & accommodation, which ZHAW students must cover themselves in the event of a trip abroad, is 200-300 sFr.
